"The doctrine of holiness is grounded in the command to be holy as God is holy (Lev. 19:2 and other Old Testament loci). Jesus commanded, “Be perfect therefore as your Father in heaven is perfect” (Mt. 5:48). Jesus also taught that true Christian discipleship requires loving God with all the heart, soul, mind, and strength, and loving neighbor as self (Mt. 22:34-40)."[2]
As far as the Hebrew meaning of the word holy, the Fellowship of Israel Related Ministries notes:
| “ | Hebrew is a unique language when it comes to word studies. Every Hebrew word is usually built on a three-consonant root word.
Often, many words close in meaning can share the same root. And reversibly, every word carries the meaning of the root word that it derived from originally. The Hebrew word for “holy” is kodesh. It comes from the root word “Kadash”. This root word, in simpler terms, means to be set apart for a specific purpose (Ancient Hebrew Lexicon, vituralbookword.com publishing, Jeff Benner).[3] |
